BED BUG BITES -18 BITES, INCLUDING 3 ON MY FACE
BED BUG BITES -18 BITES, INCLUDING 3 ON MY FACE
Unfortunately, my experience at this hotel was extremely disappointing.
I chose this hotel because of its good rating and reputation, so I absolutely did not expect to encounter bed bugs.
During my stay, I actually found a bed bug on my pillow. I immediately reported it to the reception and showed them the bug and the bites I had already noticed on my arm.
At that moment, the bites were barely visible, so I had no idea how serious the situation would become. After leaving the hotel, the bites started becoming much more noticeable - they became red, painful and itchy. I gradually discovered more and more of them: on my hands and fingers, legs and, unfortunately, three bites on my face. In total, I had around 18 bites.
The worst part is that this happened after I had already left the hotel and travelled to another country. I spent the following 8 days of my European trip with visible marks on my face, arms and legs. I have photos documenting the reaction.
The accommodation cost was eventually refunded, which I appreciate. However, the physical discomfort and the impact on the rest of my trip cannot simply be undone.
I am especially disappointed because this is a well-rated hotel, and I genuinely expected a much better standard.
I hope the management takes this seriously, investigates the source of the bed bugs and makes sure other guests do not have to go through the same experience.

Perfect Santorini hotel
What a perfect little hotel! Lovely room with balcony and everything we needed. Staff can’t do enough for you, and a special mention to Mina, who is amazing. Very centrally located and 2 min walk from the beach / seafront restaurants. Would highly recommend!

Not as we expected.
Not what we expected. This is our honest review of this hotel. The hotel is very well situated. Lots of places to eat and drink close by. The staff are very friendly and always willing to assist. Be aware this hotel is not adult only. It seems people from outside the hotel are able to use the facilities. The grounds are not very well kept. A lot of debris from the trees fall into the pool, no effort is made to clear the pool or the surrounding area. The sun loungers are well used and some of the cushions are split.. They are also very heavy to move, wheels on one end would help. Not once was the pool dip tester to check the PH balance, places we have stayed in before, we have seen this done at least twice a day. The pool toilets as far as we noticed were not cleaned during the day. The hotel itself is very tired, nothing a spruce up and re decorating would not put right. The breakfast room, area is not big enough, there is only one two slice toaster, you can wait a while. Only the pool bar opens, well it did until half way through the week and it closed. All this place needs is a good refurbishment. Our room was a superior, I have a bigger monitor screen that the TV in the room. French doors out to the so called balcony, off which only one opens, so if you are broad like I am you have to walk out sideways.
Great boutique hotel.
The hotel is in an excellent location and quite. Close to the sea, restaurants and bars. It has a good size swimming pool with sunbeds and a seating area around the pool. The breakfast is very good with a wide choice of food. The room we had overlooked the garden at the rear of the hotel. Not a big room but adequate and cosy. The staff were all very helpful and friendly at all times. We had a very nice stay at the hotel.

Lovely stay!
We have just returned after a 10 night stay here. Ideally located just a stillness throw from all the wonderful bars and restaurants. The beach is a short walk and the bus stop, supermarket and atm is literally across the road. This place is so lovely and Mina is a friendly face too! It’s pretty basic but clean and when we were there it was so quiet, some days we had the whole pool to ourselves. This place seems to more suited to those who are island hopping or staying a few days as it’s so central. But we enjoyed our longer stay as myself and my daughter were happy to relax with loud music or fighting for a sunbed! Our room was basic and a little tired but perfectly fine and everything g we needed.
